Very valid points. I've been a remote worker for a year so I can understand many points. I haven't tried some things yet (travel) so hearing about it is insightful.
- Although my work permits being flexible, I'd rather have a normal person's schedule too! There's just too many real life things to take care of that require normal hours.
- After spending a lot of time alone, I have to find a friend to meet up with. I made another remote working friend so we meet up 2 times a week. It's odd but it does feel like there is some sort of pull towards human interaction embedded somewhere. I also enjoy the busy and loud cafe background.
- Taxes suck :( They have been very confusing since this is my first year. Still working on them :'(
- nxzero 10y agoAgree, getting out and working with friends that work remotely too makes a huge difference, meeting them for lunch, etc.
- tylermac1 10y agoAnything particular about taxes that sucks for you? Are you working for yourself or remote for a company? I'm about 5 months into a remote job for a health company and I love it so far.
- maldinii 10y agoHey, I am a co-founder and employee of a company so while salary stuff is clear, things like dividends + fiscal residence + tax treaty makes you crazy to be short. Just working remotely for a company and being in a specific location all the time is certainly way easier to handle.
